1
Prepare the Espresso
Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Pour the espresso into a large mug.
2
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Alternatively, use a milk frother to heat and froth the milk at the same time.
3
Combine Ingredients
Add 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup to the brewed espresso. Stir well to combine.
4
Froth the Milk
If you haven't already frothed your milk, use a frother or whisk to froth the heated milk until it is creamy and has a nice foam layer.
5
Assemble the Latte
Pour the frothed milk over the espresso mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon. Once poured, add the foam on top of the latte.
6
Garnish
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the foam for decoration. Add sugar to taste and top with whipped cream if desired.
7
Serve
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your homemade latte!
